Briefings

Russia's Rosatom has proposed an international methodology for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to qualify for carbon credits under the Paris Agreement framework. This proposal was submitted to the UN's climate/COP secretariat. The initiative aims to provide a standardized pathway for SMRs to offset emissions, potentially expanding their market access and financial viability in international markets.

Key points

• Rosatom submitted a methodology to the UN's climate/COP secretariat for SMR carbon credit qualification.
• The proposal seeks to standardize carbon offsetting for small modular reactors under the Paris Agreement.

Context

Russia's state nuclear corporation Rosatom is advancing international standards for nuclear energy technology. This move aligns with broader efforts to integrate small modular reactors into global carbon markets, potentially increasing their commercial appeal.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to the single proposal submission to the UN secretariat. No specific dates for the proposal's adoption, no details on the methodology's technical specifications, and no information on the number of countries or entities involved in the process.
